Wishing a truly happy birthday to @clairlemon. I keep seeing kind of snarky or nasty swipes at @QuilletteM for being supposedly a pseudo-respectable cover for regressive ideas & for people in power who don't deserve it to justify their status & the status quo generally [thread]

Brian, I don't believe that there would be good faith in accepting responses because the well has been wholly poisoned against whole categories of theorising. It's anything but an open-minded place – it's just closed around a worldview you/we have *some* agreement with.

I'm less sure ... I think there may be a kind of self-perpetuating self-selection where ppl inclined to a particular way of viewing 'science & rationality' may keep submitting. But there exceptions like https://quillette.com/2016/05/21/giving-genes-their-due-but-not-more/ … & if more like this submit, I think more wld appear

Don't regard the pub as entirely lacking in quality – it's not Breitbart for rationalists. But why give such a platform for people to write about social justice who are so misinformed about the subject that almost every article comes off to those in the know as a strawperson?
